Can hydrocephalus cause hair loss

Hydrocephalus itself is not directly linked to hair loss. However, the condition can lead to increased intracranial pressure and associated neurological symptoms, which may indirectly affect hair health. Additionally, treatments for hydrocephalus, such as shunt placement, or underlying conditions may contribute to changes in hair growth or loss. If hair loss occurs, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause.
